Each morning your
bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However, this
prize has rules:

The set of
rules:

1. Everything that
you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from
you.

2. You may not simply
transfer money into some other account.

3. You may only spend
it.

4. Each morning upon
awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that
day.

5. The bank can end
the game without warning; at any time it can say,“Game Over!" It can close the
account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you
personally do?

You would buy
anything and everything you wanted, right?Not only for yourself, but for all
the people you love and care for. Even for people you don't know, because you
couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?

You would try to spend
every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished in the
morning, right?

ACTUALLY, This GAME
is REAL ....

Shocked???
YES!

Each of us is already
a winner of this *PRIZE*. We just can't seem to see it.

This PRIZE is
*TIME*

1. Each morning we
awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life.

2. And when we go to
sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

3. What we haven't
used up that day is forever lost.4. Yesterday is forever gone.5. Each
morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any
time WITHOUT WARNING...

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400
seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much more than the same
amount in dollars. Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every
second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you
think.

OZ
Zelena continues watching through a portal in the palace of the Emerald
City. She watches me struggle to learn magic. This causes her to scoff as
magic comes so naturally with her. Glinda interrupts Zelena and tells her thank
you for getting rid of the charlatan of a wizard. She tells Zelena she is
wasting her talents on foolish pursuits and should come with her.
Glinda introduces Zelena to the witches that she calls her sisters. Each
sister represents a corner and they have one seat left to represent the west.
Zelena asks about traveling back in time. Glinda tells her they want to shape
her future and not the past. The west represents innocence and Zelena does not
believe that she is meant for this as she is wicked. The witches tell her that
Glinda possesses a book of prophecies and that they have been waiting for a
witch brought by a cyclone. Glinda tells Zelena she does not have to be wicked
and can shape her own future if she will give up the past.
Zelena returns to the palace and again watches the portal. She says aloud
that she is over me. Glinda tells her she made the right choice. She gives her
a white pendant and tells her that this pendant will make her even more
powerful. She also warns to guard the pendant with her life as without it she
will be powerless. She shows Zelena to a mirror. Zelena’s skin color has
returned to normal.
Glinda takes Zelena to the west. The land becomes dark. A cyclone drops a
house. A teenage girl comes out of the house and tells them she is Dorothy Gale
from Kansas. Zelena is immediately jealous of the attention Glinda gives
Dorothy.
The witches welcome Dorothy. They feed her. Glinda notices Zelena is
outside watching them. She goes outside to Zelena. Zelena’s skin is turning
green again. Zelena has Glinda’s book of prophecies. According to the book,
white magic will come along and take the seat of evil. She believes this means
that Dorothy will take her seat. Glinda once again reminds her that she is only
choosing to be evil.
Dorothy goes to the well to get water. She is frightened by Zelena who is
now fully green again. Zelena means to destroy Dorothy with a ball of fire.
Dorothy throws water at her and then apologizes. Zelena melts telling Dorothy
that she has destroyed her. Glinda finds a frantic Dorothy who tells her what
has happened. Glinda simply tells her it was destiny and that Dorothy is meant
to take Zelena’s seat as the witch of the west. Dorothy tells Glinda she wishes
to go home. Glinda agrees to take Dorothy to see the wizard believing he will
be back and Zelena’s magic has been overturned. Once they are out of sight
Zelena materializes.
At the palace Dorothy asks the wizard to send her home. He grants her golden
slippers and tells her to click her heels and think of home. Dorothy leaves to
return to Kansas. Zelena then separates the curtain and reveals herself to
Glinda. Glinda warns Zelena if she stays wicked she will always search for
someone to defeat her. Zelena banishes Glinda to the Dark Forest. Once Glinda
is gone Zelena’s pendant turns from white to green.Storybrooke
Rumpel continues spinning straw into gold. Zelena transforms a lump of
golden straw into a brain. She places it in a box. She then takes Rumpel to
the site she wishes to enact her time travel ritual. She forces Rumpel to dig.
He tells her even if the spell works the problem is she will still be herself.
The digging has created a symbol.
Mary is in labor and has arrived at the hospital. I work with Emma to put
protection spells in place advising her this may still not be a guarantee. Hook
arrives at the hospital. Emma is still mad at him. He wants to help and she
denies him. David hears them and advises Emma to take the help. He believes
Hook lied because he was backed into a corner. As Emma and Hook are about to
leave Henry and Leroy arrive. Henry tells Emma he is not worried. I promise
Emma that Henry will be safe.
Henry sits with Archie Hopper in the lobby. Unaware that Emma wants to go
back to New York, Henry looks at classified ads for apartments. Archie suggests
that Henry talk to Emma.
Hook and Emma walk through the forest. He questions why she is so eager to
run away from Storybrooke. Zelena and Rumpel interrupt them. Zelena uses
Rumpel to throw Hook into water. Hook is unable to get out and Emma cannot help
him. Zelena and Rumpel disappear. She gets Hook out and he is unconscious.
Emma gives him mouth to mouth resuscitation which causes her to lose her magic.
When Hook comes through he realizes what she has done.
Robin and the Merry Men cannot hold off

Zelena and Rumpel. She makes her way
through the hospital halls using magic to freeze anyone in place or knock out
anyone who gets in her way. Belle tries to stop them and Rumpel begs her to
leave them. Zelena renders her unconscious and orders Rumpel to leave her.
When she finds me she easily knocks me out as well. Zelena and Rumpel find Mary
and David with their newborn son. She interrupts their happy moment by freezing
them in place and taking the infant.
Once they are gone David is able to move. He wants to go after them. He
tells Emma and Hook that the baby has been taken. Emma admits she lost her
magic. Henry tells me that I can beat Zelena. I explain to him she can only be
defeated by light magic. He tells me that I have changed and am now a hero.
Robin agrees with him and tells me he also believes I can do this.
Zelena places the baby in a basket as Rumpel looks on. He tells her no
matter what happens he will kill her. With all of her ingredients in place she
begins her time travel spell. This is interrupted when we all arrive to stop
her. Zelena knocks people out and uses Rumpel and a flying monkey to help her.
Rumpel tells Emma to find his dagger so she can get him on our side. Zelena
suspends me in air with magic. Robin shows me he took my heart. I reach inside
myself and create light magic. Zelena is shocked. Once free I go to her and
take her pendant. The spell stops. The flying monkey turns into Little John.
Rumpel wants to kill Zelena but I stop him. I possess his dagger and tell him
heroes do not kill. He reminds me that she killed his son. I remind him of how
many times that we killed to get what we wanted and this has to end.
Zelena is in a jail cell. I sit outside her cell and tell her I understand
her. I also tell her that my life has not been as grand as she thought it was.
I tell a bitter Zelena that I want to give her a second chance and threaten her
to stay in line. I leave and lock her pendant in my vault.
Rumpel waits for Belle at his shop. She tells him that she knows everything
that happened was because of Zelena and she will always love him. She tells him
that I gave the dagger back and Belle wants to give it to him so he may be free
but he must agree not to pursue Zelena. Rumpel tells her that she has his heart
and he wants her to have the dagger. He then asks her to marry him. Belle
gleefully accepts his proposal.
David returns to Mary with their son. Hook asks Emma if she has her magic
back. She tells him she does not. She tells him she will not need it in New
York. Hook looks disappointed. He watches Emma join her family.
Rumpel goes to visit Zelena in jail. He tells her that he has his dagger and
the one Belle has is not the real one. He goes into her cell. Zelena pleads
for her life reminding him she is powerless now. He stabs her. She turns to
ceramic and shatters. He leaves the cell satisfied not knowing he has activated
something else. Zelena’s ruins disappear. The magic from her pendant is
released and travels to the site of the time travel ritual. A portal has
opened.
